I need to have something besides WoW to write about...

But the only other thing I seem to do lately is work, and I don't want this blog to turn into a constant gripe fest about that. Although I can share interesting customer names, I always enjoy that. I talked to a woman named Luigia today. Just like Mario's brother, but feminine. And she had their accent too. I was expecting her to break out into the Numa Numa song at any moment. And speaking of Numa Numa, I really should link Break.com (formerly Big Boys) to my blog too. Last night Jeff showed me this hilarious parody of the Switch commercials with someone's World of Warcraft characters.

Damn it! Back to WoW again! Not that I don't love it, but I know not everyone who reads my blog plays, so I want to talk about other things that are interesting also.

I'm looking forward to getting email back from Lisa. When I went to her blog last night she had written something like, "how do you catch someone up on 8 years of your life". And then I realized that it actually had been 8 years since high school. And it made me feel a little old. But it some ways it's nice too, to be able to look back and see how far I've come, how different I am, but in some ways still the same. I'm still Wiccan, still an optimist, but I like to think I've become a little more responsible. I've got a Bachelor's Degree, and gotten married. I made a lot of good friends, and gotten rid of a couple false ones. All in all, I have to say I'm pretty satisfied with the last 8 years.

My only real complaint would be that I could be someplace better career-wise. And at the age I am now, It's hard to see my way back to school to get a different direction. My life with Jeff is in Bradford, and if one of us goes back to school it should be him first. I think I'm starting to understand why if you see people in their late 20s in college, it's because they're still there, not because they left and went back. The people you see going back are in their late 30s-early 40s and they can go back because their children are now in school 8 hours a day and they have that time to themselves again. It concerns me a little that me ever getting to go back to school seems so far down the road, but it seems to me that career was never going to be my raison d'etre anyway. My greatest happiness has always come from family, friends, and love. I lack ambition I guess, or maybe the things I'm ambitious about aren't considered worthwhile in today's society, i.e. happiness, spiritual growth, community, and getting a level 60 character in World of Warcraft.

Damn it! Back to World of Warcraft again! Does anyone have the number for Online Gamers Anonymous? I think we need an intervention....

Just kidding! Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Addendum to original post:

** For some reason, I'm being extra picky about my grammar and spelling today. I've just edited this blog post at least 5 times. I don't know if I'm being more cautious because with Lisa's post I'm realizing that outsiders could be reading my blog or what, but it's very frustrating! **
